You need to load mod_apreq2.so at server startup, which grabs all the required symbols at server startup. Be sure your server config contains a line like
LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so
The problem is likely that the mod_apreq2 filter has not been added to the input filter chain in time to read the POST data.
There are two solutions to this problem:
1) Write a filter init handler for you filter that instantiates an Apache2::Request object. http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Filter.html#C_FilterInitHandler_ 2) Use .htaccess or your server config to ensure the apreq input filter is active for this request with "AddInputFilter APREQ" or somesuch.
We recommend using (1), and falling back to (2) until you get (1) working.
Apache2::Upload is now a separate module in apreq2, so you need to use Apache2::Upload to load the Apache2::Request::upload function.
use Apache2::Upload
Apache2::Request::upload
apreq's repository is broken into three subdirectories:
/trunk - the current codebase for active development. /tags - release snapshots. /branches - where older releases and experimental development lines live.
apreq follows a Commit-then-Review policy for its entire repository, but being a shared library places certain restrictions on the admissible changes for stable trees. Basically the header files cannot be modified; only new functions and structures may be added to them. Any time that happens, the minor-version needs to be bumped, and the patch-level gets reset to zero. Changes that only modify the library's implementation (.c) files require a bump to the patch-level. On stable trees, this version tracking should happen on each commit, to make auditing easy for other developers without resorting to a draconian Review-then-Commit policy.
To install APR::Request, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
cpanm
cpanm APR::Request
CPAN shell
perl -MCPAN -e shell install APR::Request
